LQ - 850/950/1050 DOT - MATRIX PRINTER
Installation/Support Tips
Short Tear Off
To activate the short tear-off feature on the printer, first turn
DIP switch 2-7 to the on position. To control it through the
software, send a form feed command at the end of each
page. After sending a form feed, do not send it any more
data for a 3-second interval. To activate the tear -off
feature manually, take the printer off line and press the FF
button. When it is put back on line, the print position will
go right back to the top of the page, ready for the next
print job.
Single - Sheet Loading
When loading single sheets, make sure that the paper lever
is set to single sheets, not tractor paper. The paper can be
loaded manually or via the auto load button. Before
attempting to load in the paper, wait for the platen to lock in
place after changing the paper lever.
Setting up the Page Length
The page length has to be adjusted for using single sheets
and for using tractor paper. When your software you asks
you to set up the number of lines/page, single sheets
require a shorter page length than does tractor paper. Set
the page length to 61 lines for single sheets (also when
using the cut -sheet feeder) and 66 lines for tractor paper.
Software
The type of printer installed on your system must be
identified for each software package. This is usually done
through a setup menu.
If the LQ-850/950/1050 is not listed
in the software package, any Epson 24-pin driver will be
compatible. (Preferably, choose the LQ-800/1000.)
DIP Switch Settings
The default settings will usually work for most applications,
but they should be checked before using the printer. This
will avoid unexpected results.
